Ecclesiastes 7:24 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7
22 car ton cœur a senti bien des fois que tu as toi-même maudit les autres.
23 J’ai éprouvé tout cela par la sagesse. J’ai dit: Je serai sage. Et la sagesse est restée loin de moi.
24 Ce qui est loin, ce qui est profond, profond, qui peut l’atteindre?
25 Je me suis appliqué dans mon cœur à connaître, à sonder, et à chercher la sagesse et la raison des choses, et à connaître la folie de la méchanceté et la stupidité de la sottise.
26 Et j’ai trouvé plus amère que la mort la femme dont le cœur est un piège et un filet, et dont les mains sont des liens; celui qui est agréable à Dieu lui échappe, mais le pécheur est pris par elle.
